D                                F#m 
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves 
D                           F#m 
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away 
Bm                            Bb 
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones 
D                 C                 D 
The sirens on the shore calling them home 
D                            F#m 
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway 
D                              F#m 
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way 

Pre-Chorus 
Bm                                Bb 
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole 
          D              C                   D 
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole 


Bm                             Bb 
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves 
                   D                             B 
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay 
                Em                         Bb 
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey 
                     D                     C             D 
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away

Pre-Chorus 
   Bm                               Bb 
We lost ourselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole 
          D              C                 D 
While the needle and the thread stitches us whole again 


Bm                             Bb 
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves 
                   D                             B 
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay 
                    Em                     Bb 
Raise your mast and fly away into a sky of blue and grey 
                   D                   C              D 
No one to save us, sailing our sinking ships up and away 
D                   C             D 
Sailing our sinking ships up and away 
D                   C             D 
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
